Influence of sward height on diet selection by horses
Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 2005 Abstract Foraging herbivores are often faced with spatial and temporal heterogeneity within the vegetation they have available to graze and therefore have to make decisions where and when to graze. The study reported in this paper investigated the influence of sward height on diet selection by horses grazing perennial rye-grass swards.

Hemiparasitic plant impacts animal and plant communities across four trophic levels [PDF]
, 2015 1.Understanding the impact of species on community structure is a fundamental question in ecology. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that both sub-dominant species and parasites can have a disproportionately large impact.
